Why do African Americans still continue to sit towards the back of the bus 60 years later? It is a very baffling question that deserves an answer. History tells us through well scripted documentation dating back to the civil rights movements of Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks; that African Americans were determined to be treated as equal human beings and demanded their place in society through non-violent protests. With these facts still lingering in the minds of pioneers and elders of a generation almost completely extinct, an individual has to wonder; could this be the long-term results of a particular type of mental programming, or is it considered cool amongst a lost generation to sit towards the back of the bus now? During an era where African Americans were not considered equal by the majority of whites in the southern states, it was difficult to maintain in a time of injustice, inequality, and uncertainty. Most, if not every establishment in the south, had become completely segregated, and to be born an African American during those times was considered a sin punishable by man-made laws that swore to protect and serve the American people. African Americans were considered second rate citizens, who were bullied and made examples of on a daily basis; none of which, has changed much given our present conditions. Now you probably might be thinking; what does this have to do with African Americans and the back of the bus theory? Subconsciously, African Americans have reverted back to and are taking their rightful place near the rear of the society. Sounds crazy, but does this only occur in urban areas, or maybe this is something that travels beyond the inner-cities? What is the cause of such non-coherent behavior within a race that struggled for years in solving such a problem? Is this problem fixable and...

...The back of the bus
“ The back of the bus” was written by Mary Mebane. Mary earned a P.h.D from University of North Carolina, became a English professor. According to Mebane she was part of the last generation born into a world of total segregation. Mary wrote this essay because she “ wanted to show what it was like to live under legal segregation before the civil rights Act of 1964” (Mebane).
These laws were set in place to govern the movements of all black people. If these laws were violated you would be put in jail or white mobs would be en-charge to set laws in place.
The Southern town was moving quickly in the morning and the whites were coming to work. Mary and her sister Ester walked long miles to reach the bus stop, took this bus to head over across white downtown for music lessons. The three main areas on these buses were black's in the back, whites in the front and “ No-man's-land “ where whites would sit or blacks would. Mary and Ester go to the bus and sat at the back facing each other. That Saturday morning a lot of people were out reaching for the bus. A white man got on the bus, saw a empty seat in the black section and sat down. More people began to get on the bus at that point Mary was afraid because there was a black man sitting in the No-man's land section....

President B. Obama’s speech “Back to School”
President Barack Obama held a speech called “Back to School” delivered at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia on September 8th 2009. Barack Obama addresses the values of hard work and taking the responsibility for paving success, no matter how hard the obstacles might be. The intention of the President’s speech is to persuade and motivate students all over America to stay focused, do their best, and take full advantage of their potential, and make America proud.
Barack Obama’s main arguments are first of all focused on the responsibility the students have for their country. Obama has already talked to parents, teachers, and the government about the responsibility they have for setting high standards, inspiring, support and a save environment for the students, but in the end none of that really matters if the students don’t fulfill their responsibility for the school. He describes how no one is useless, and everyone can contribute “Everyone has something to offer” He even gives examples and ideas of how the future might look for some people. This bright future is paired with what is relevant to the young students at this point in time such as “The knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math….. the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies…. And the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes” He uses anaphora a...

...Erik Erikson also proposed a stage theory of development, but his theory encompassed human growth throughout the entire lifespan. Erikson believed that each stage of development was focused on overcoming a conflict. For example, the primary conflict during the adolescent period involves establishing a sense of personal identity. Success or failure in dealing with the conflicts at each stage can impact overall functioning. During the adolescent stage, for example, failure to develop an identity results in the roll of confusion.
Another psychologist named Lev Vygotsky proposed a seminal learning theory that has gone on to become very influential, especially in the field of education. He believed that children learn actively and through hands-on experiences. His sociocultural theory also suggested that parents, caregivers, peers and the culture at large were responsible for the development of higher order functions.
John BowlbyThere is a great deal of research on the social development of children. John Bowbly proposed one of the earliest theories of social development. Bowlby believed that early relationships with caregivers play a major role in child development and continue to influence social relationships throughout life.
Psychologist Albert Bandura proposed what is known as social learning theory. According to this theory of child development, children learn...

...﻿JOURNAL ENTRY: WEEK 2
Bianca Gibson
Explain the insights you gained from reflecting on your personal attitudes, beliefs, biases, behavior, and world view and how these factors might impact your delivery of counseling techniques.
The two cultural diversity assessments that I took were Cultural Diversity Self-Assessment (score 138) and Cultural Competence Self-assessment checklist (score 93). By taking both assessments I realized the importance of self-evaluation. Being able to reflect on my own personal progress and development, I will be able to recognize areas in which I have improved as well as areas in which I need improvement. I would begin this progress by comparing a then and now technique as my way of observing my own growth.
In this week’s readings and discussion, I have learned so much about a client’s personal values, beliefs, and world view. Working as a Mental Health Counselor, I’m sure there will be many challenges as well as responsibilities. In week two, I expressed what might be a concern/challenge when working with a client that does not accept accountability. However, being that “I demonstrate and model my values in action with my personal and work behaviors, decision making, contribution, and interpersonal interaction it is my responsibility as a mental health counselor to respect client dignity and promote client welfare. It would be in my best interest, to help my clients to understand that values are made up of everything in their lives...

Theories
Adlerian, Cognitive Behavioral and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy are three major
theories that are used extensively in the counseling world. Some counselors use each
as a single treatment approach while others chose to blend things from two or more
together. The theory or approach that is chosen by a counselor must be one that they
are knowledgeable in and feel comfortable with. It’s also important to remember that
not every approach will fit every client.
Adlerian Theory
Key Concepts
Adlerian Theory sometimes referred to as Individual Psychology was developed
by Alfred Adler. Adler stressed a positive view of human nature. He believed that
everyone can control their fate through analyzing their lifestyle and helping others. One
of the key concepts of Adlerian Therapy is that “objective reality is less important than
how we interpret reality and the meanings we attach to what we experience.” (Quinn,
2011) Adlerian Theory suggests that behavior is purposeful and goal-oriented and that
the “life goal” unifies the personality. (Quinn, 2011) Genetics and heredity are not as
important as what we chose to do with the limitations and abilities that we possess.
(Quinn, 2011) Adler offered a “value-oriented...

...﻿1. Law and the Impact on Business Leases
You are a skateboard designer and decide to open a shop. You find a “perfect space” in a local mall and agree to sign a one-year lease agreement that runs from January 1 through December 31. The lease agreement specifies that the lease cannot be assigned without the mall’s consent. In late June, you decide that this space is not attracting enough customers, so you decide to assign the balance of your lease to Jennifer Beeswax, who owns a candle shop. The mall objects to the assignment and denies Beeswax access to the space. You are certain that Beeswax is financially sound and should be allowed the full rights and privileges of an assignee.
Fully discuss whether you or the mall is correct.
Justify your answer using information from your Reading and be sure to
A. Discuss fully the elements of assignment.
There is a written one year lease. In this lease it has been stated that the tenant may not assign without the consent of the mall. If Beeswax can be proven that is financially sound. I could try and litigate that the mall is being unreasonable to this assignment. However since in most states the landlord has the right to deny the assignment for no reason this would probably be pointless. There is nothing in the lease agreement to state that the landlord must be reasonable, which maybe I should have made sure was in there before I signed the lease. Although with this new trend I still may be able to show that the mall is...
